With Android 1.5, you just press Shift and drag your finger over the text you want to copy. As you release the finger, the highlighted (in some pinkish color!) text is copied to the clipboard. To paste the text, you long press any text input area and select Paste from the menu that pops up.

Hey guys-

I'm running LucidREM's JFv 1.42 RC33 with APPs 2 SD. Everything was fine for like a month or 2 until just the other day, i started having problems. People will call me and get a busy signal, some of my calls will drop, and sometimes, i'll choose a contact to dial and I'll get an orange android and it sayd "unable to connect" I've updated my radio 3 times now. the first 2 times was with the old radio update, and this last time was with the saphire update. but still having the same problem. I'm not sure why this is happening or how to fix it. any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] Tob3z:
I get this problem as well. It's always when I don't want it to happen.

I'm using 5.02G
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakh1:
Hi all,

So, I've had my TD2 for 24 hours now - enough time to get to know it. Overall it is a step forwards over the TD1 but there are certainly things I'll miss...

Things I like or are better compared to the TD1:

- MUCH better/faster TF3D

- The tighter integration into WinMo

- The higher pixel count

- The camera quality

- Very good 'wizards' when setting up email, etc. Of all the WinMo phones, I've never been into the MS settings less than on this one

- the on screen keyboard with haptic feedback

- the speaker seems to handle volume better

- the battery tells you how long you got on the last full charge - genius!

- back to coloured lights for charging, charged etc. The white circle was cool, but not as easily read

Things I am not so keen on or miss compared to the TD1:

- The screen seems set deeper into the device, was odd for the first few hours, used to it now

- The screen seems less vibrant and white

- It's bigger

- No funky diamond back cover (I know, but I liked it)

- Device feels lighter and as such less 'quality', the TD1 feels more solid

- No D-Pad means things like moving up/down unopened email is tricky

Things I think they could change with the TD2

- deliver it with a case!

- deliver it with the snap in for the desktop stand

- Silly thing, but I loved the diamond box of the TD1 and the way it was presented, this one just didn't feel as special unpacking it :)

- make the pick up button green, and the hang up red

Just my $0.02.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietrucci:
All in all I agree with you, some remarks in red...

My extra 2 cents...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HandySpanner:
I wouldn't be surprised if third party diamond covers came out.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_style:
Agree...

Yes, the integration with WinMo is far deeper and polished.

But I agree the Diamond1 feels and looks a far more premium product and seems better finished.

The Diamond2 case is quite plain and already after 1 week I'm noticing some wear on the front of the case at the bottom...

Another thing I liked on the Diamond was the back of the phone case had the 4 corner edges removed. Such a small thing but you notice it on this phone in your suit pants pockets - especially as it is a bigger footprint overall.

The phone screen is recessed further into the phone and this drove me nuts at first and thought it looked quite poor - but of course you get used to it. Figure this is done to cater for the more responsive touch screen which is a joy to use.

I think also the TouchFlo3D menus and some of the screens are 'stretched' on this longer version of the screen. For example the envelope graphics in TouchFlo mail almost look like they are a lower resolution as they are stretched longer for the longer screen length. Might be just me...

But my biggest problem on this phone is the change that HTC have made to the lock button by doing a long press End/Hang-Up key. When this is pressed, instead of dimming the screen, locking the keys and showing the Today screen - it instantly shows the Password logon screen (rendering the Today screen useless and obsolete). My company has Exchange Group policy enforced that a password must be entered into the phone after 15mins of inactivity. That's fine - except HTC have changed it so that as soon as you use the Device Lock - it does a total lock (and not just a Key lock). I've been arguing with HTC support on this for days and they just say this is a 'Feature'. Well it's a crap feature and one that wasn't apparent on my HTC Touch Cruise or my HTC Touch Diamond1. I've tried many button remapping programs but if I map any other key to 'Device Lock' the same thing happens. To me it's a bug as it renders the display of the Today screen obsolete as soon as you lock the phone keys.

no you wouldn't :P
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkai:
3 big factors that makes TD2 a better choice than TD1 for me:

- microSD, while Diamond have 4GB fixed and no expansion. This was not mentioned in the list, but is imho the fatal flaw of the TD1: 4GB is much much too small for this kind of phone, no way I would buy a smartphone with only 4GB nowadays. microSD is also expandable, so if you have a 8 GB now you can buy 16 or 32 GB later if needed. I will buy a 16 GB, I do not expect to go to 32 GB before changing the phone ;-)

-larger screen, with larger resolution: it means more info on the screen, with the same DPI as the TD1 (if your eyes are good enough to use every pixel on the TD1, so they are for the TD2, and you have more pixels ;-) )

-larger battery (although I would have expected at least a 1300 mAh): 1 day of intensive usage is a must, because a phone is useful on the move, where you can at most charge every night. 2 days would be better, just by security, but less than 1 day means that you can not use your phone to the fullest...or need to cary a spare battery, or a safety simple phone: emergency calls should be possible all the time, if only for security reason (dirtbiking alone for example...)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXelero:
i hope this will happen, and then i'll get one. indeed, this "piano black" back cover is something i don't really like. i prefer the cover of the touch HD.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlui1:
So far, I'm only getting half a day's worth of battery life. I have to keep it on charging when I'm in the car, or I wouldn't last the day.

I suspect it's because I'm getting extremely poor reception, so it's taking a lot more power finding the right towers. Unless I got a dud set or battery, in which case, I'd have to get an exchange ASAP.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkai:
That's much worse than the TD1. What happen if you go to airplane mode? Does it increase the battery life tremendously? If not, a defective TD2 for sure....If yes, not so certain about poor reception, it could also be a defective radio system...

I would try to get the exchange, 1/2 day makes the phone almost useless for me, and I am sure it is at least hugely annoying for you ;-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietrucci:
I have good reception but my battery doesn't last much longer than half a day either...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adesonic:
Something odd here, I get poor reception where I live and work but am getting 2 days out of the battery resonably comfortably
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_style:
:)

Thanks for the offer of a swap, but I've still got my TD1 sitting on the charger at home and haven't fully let go yet...

Yes, agree with the comments that the bigger battery is an improvement, and the bigger screen an improvement and the ability to dump a 16GB MicroSD makes the world of difference.

But I'm still stuck on this Password screen that pops up as soon as you lock the phone as it's killing me at the moment and denying me the joy of owning this phone.

A question: do any other TD2 owners have Group Policy and Simple PIN enforced with their company exchange configuration? If so does the Device Lock with long press End key show the Password key immediately? I've not yet confirmed whether any other TD2 owners are having this problem...?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
I don't use Exchange or have any policies in force on my TD2, however I can confirm that if I set the phone up with a lock password and set it to activate after say 15 minutes, then when you longpress the hangup button to lock the screen, it does immediately come up with the password input screen, completely ignoring the 15 minute timeout. For this reason I have had to disable the password lock, thus compromising the security of my phone in favour of usability.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barff1984:
I'm in the same boat too

battery is crap. I guess we use it more than the other people...it's the only explanation

to the people with the Pin problem

Does it really make your life worth ending just because you have to type your pin in? It's really not that much of a problem. Deal with it
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christonge:
Really??? :eek:

I have to say from my own experience I am getting a good day and a half out of it with push mail... although I haven't been using much else on these days. Standby time is a huge improvement also... with the TD1 I could leave it un plugged over night as it would be dead in the morning, whereas this only loses a bar.

All in all I agree with gkai post above.... 3 big factors that makes TD2 a better choice than TD1 for me 1.microSD 2.larger screen 3.larger battery.....plus no D Pad (I never used it!!!)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_style:
Great, thanks for confirming. I'm going to have another crack at HTC and see what happens.

I realise that when WinMo 6.5 is released this problem probably won't be apparent as the lock screen provides new ways of checking status without fully enabling the phone.

Otherwise until then I'll see who's cooking new ROMs and if they resolve this problem HTC has made.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_style:
You're missing the point here - the Today screen doesn't appear when you use the lock.

With typical use of your phone you'll pull it out of your pocket, push the power button to enable the display and check the Today screen to look at the upcoming appointments, see if Emails have been received or any missed calls. This is not possible if Group Policy password is enabled. To do *anything* on the phone when it's locked you need to put in your PIN.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] well0549:
To the people with the pin problem......

I had the same policy and hated my company for pushing this on my private phone...

The solution is Zenyee stay unlocked...

Install configure and you can disable the pin. this will solve the problem. And you can still sync to exchange.

hope this helps! (let me know if it does).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:
Does Zenyee Stay Unlocked always run in the background or do you run and configure it once?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] well0549:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlui1:
I'll try and put it on Airplane mode tonight before i go to sleep.

I took my Diamond2 off the charger at 8am this morning, and by 3pm, had 40% battery left. This was with the phone fetching emails every 30mins and checking them, and about 10mins of actually using the phone for Twitter/IM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KraFT_mk:
After 72 hours.

All the “innovations” awards goes for:

HUGE Software improvement.

TF has near_Iphone_touch experience. The only thing that I like @Iphone. (The only thing.)

The higher pixel count and overall great display quality.

The photos taken are great with hi quality and they are very usable.

Haptic feedback and better volume from the speaker.

No GPS lag.

Cheapest packaging I have seen in my life. This is good if that helped in reducing the overall price.

SD Card.

Zoom.

Now the bad things.

Who the hell designed TD2.

And “diamond” ? WTF? Looks like an old ""Telefunken" TV from the 80`s.

What “noble” metallic look? Looks like a coffin.

Forget that sleek design and that easy handy TD1 feeling.

The bottom plate is even worse. If you didn’t liked the TD1 diamond shape of the back plate I am sure you will start to like it now.

And it’s not black. And it’s not a piano black. It’s some very dark_brown_ to_ black_colour and due to the flat surface all fingerprints are 100% more exposed.

For me this is by far a total opposite from what “diamond” should look and feel like in your hand, in your pocket and on the table.

IF This was Touch PRO OR HD or anything else I would not mind.

The design and colors chosen ads to the size of the TD2. Period.

The battery.

I am not a power user and the use of the diamond is extended for 20% which IS NOT ENOUGH for not having a spare battery with yourself. With TD1, I had one spare in my pocket wallet and I would use it once a week. If this is the only reason about the size of the TD2 they did the worst job ever. Now I have bigger device and bigger spare battery in my wallet.

The styus.

The return of the “regular” stylus.

HTC “innovation” invented a great feature that was not only for showing around but actually was very usable.

Now its gone without any explanation.

Conclusion.

If I had to chose between TD1 and TD2 where both have the same software speed I would chose TD1.

Innovations are about innovations. This is just a improved device. Fat one.

Zenyee Stay Unlocked works!

You my friend, are what's known as - a legend! Yes, that has resolved the problem so appreciate you taking the time to share this info on this tool.

I'm still very annoyed at HTC configuring the TD2 this way, but this workaround brings back the ability to lock the phone keys and still see the Today screen.

A shame that this workaround totally has to disable the Simple PIN, as I don't necessarily have a problem with entering a password when the phone is unused for a certain amount of time (especially if it is lost). But the alternative of having to enter a password to enable the phone every single time is totally unacceptable... :(

Thanks again for your help with this!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad_style:
That's unusual as I have a HTC Touch Cruise, and a Touch Diamond 1 both running on WinMo 6.1 and a long press End on both these phones locks the phone keys, dims the screen and shows the Today screen. And this is with my corporate Exchange Group Policy exchanged with the 15mins Simple PIN requirement...?

But on TD2 this same sequence shows the Password logon screen.

Well, I left the phone on Airplane mode overnight, and after roughly 7.5 hours, the battery is still about 9x%.

So my problem seems to stem from reception or radio issues?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanibak:
I would agree, this happens with my D1 so I don't think its just a D2 issue. When I am in a very poor reception area, I am lucky to get 1/2 a day of standby time let alone using it for calls. When I am in a vary good reception area I can get almost 2 days of standby time, with a few calls a day and push mail, active sync on.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlui1:
It's actually really strange.

I accidentally dropped the D2 on concrete as I was getting out of my car. Luckily, I had a thick silicone case on, which absorbed the shock.

I've now had the phone on for almost 24 hours, and it's only gone down by 1 bar. The conditions is the same as before I dropped the phone.

Dropping the phone must have done something inside, and now the battery is great. At least for now.

Hey,

I'm looking for a music player for my HD (so has to suggest WVGA) but I have quite a few needs so would be helpful.

If possible I would like it to have it's own independant volume setting outside of the Windows sound management (so I can leave it muted but still listern).

User interface is important to me, WMP would be great but the icons are small and I dislike having to press 'Play' after selecting a track.

If it works with 6.5's home screen that would be fantastic, I'm really enjoying it so any player that uses it would be a God-send.

Shuffle needs to be decent, I've had too many application only shuffle and play half my music, senseless programs.

Lastly it needs to NOT stutter when I use 6.5 lock. WMP does that and it drives me mad.

Note that I've tested: MortPlayer, PocketPlayer, WMP and have disliked all of them.

Any ideas?

If there is a problem can a mod pelase move this to another section if needed.

The following is meant to save you a lot of time, health and annoyance,

I've done this with both Windows 7 (x86 and x64) and Windows Vista.. didn't check XP.

Instead of burning 9000 bootable DVDs for every new OS/SP that's out... you can just boot your installation from a USB key. thus far, a 4GB one suffices for every operating system i can think of.

let's go.

1. run CMD

2. type "diskpart"

3. connect your USB Key

4. type "list disk" (you will see a list of all available storages)

5. type "select disk #" # being your USB Key drive number.

6. type "clean"

7. type "create partition primary"

8. type "select partition 1"

9. type "active"

10. type "format fs=fat32"

11. after the format is complete, type "assign"

12. exit all cmd windows and copy all files from your windows ISO to the key.

13. load your bios and set the USB key to be the first choice in the booting sequence. the installation should load...

14. cheers.

15. later.

P.S. I have a friend who's trying to write a Toshiba Flash BIOS version which can boot from SD.. this actually means that you'll have an SD card on standby with a windows installation and you'll be able to format your comp easily.

thankfully, if you have a 4GB one, you'll also be able to create a small data image of your comp with a few applications.. and maybe some outlook data/bookmarks.

I don't trust he'll be successful with this.. and not because i distrust his abilities but because this is EXTREMELY hard to do. Hope is always welcome tho.
